efficient freshman spark for San Diego
Brandon Benjamin is a 6-foot-6 freshman guard for San Diego who has already shown a polished, low-drama game: in the 2025-26 season he averaged 2.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 6.9 minutes while shooting 52.4% from the field, and he popped for 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting in a bench burst against Long Beach State. His appeal is clear—size on the wing, efficient scoring, and the kind of instant-offense energy coaches love—while his current role suggests he’s still earning minutes, so he looks best as a developmental fit rather than an immediate lead option.
